She married George Sensibaugh Jan. 1862 in Sonoma Co., and he died in 1876, Sonoma Co., and she married in 1877 to Silas Brooks who died in Alexander Valley in 1908. In 1915 Rebecca was in Windsor, CA. Most of the Brooks and Sensibaughs are buried in Knights Valley Cemetery on Highway 128, Napa / Sonoma Co. Perhaps that is where William Madison Williams is buried also? The information that I seek would be in Tennessee before 1850. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.
